That has happened to me since Futurology was up for pre-order. Hope you have luck, because when I try to order with Paypal, the order goes through but then it gets cancelled later.

Might be obvious but are you choosing correct Mastercard/visa from the drop down?

Oh yes believe me. It has happened to me in all web stores managed by MyPlayDirect since early this year. No matter which card I use, Visa or MasterCard, they all get rejected in an instant. If I pay via PayPal the order goes through but it gets cancelled days later because MyPlayDirect claim they cannot process the payment (whereas in PayPal it shows they never try to claim it).

I've been exchanging mails with them for a month now and they claim there's nothing wrong with their system and don't know what happens.

So, in short: does anyone know if the boxset will be available in Amazon?

I got so excited about the B-sides and rarities CD, but really Too Cold Here and Love Torn Us Under are the only tracks I'd be interested in having (the others I'd play occasionally). I don't put live tracks on my MP3 player and don't think I need another two THB remixed/remastered versions.

I'd love the signed book but from the product photo it looks like the photos are ones that we've already had in the Forever Delayed book.

I'd love the vinyl though. I've been looking out for an affordable THB vinyl for ages.

I'm doing similar, mine's the 17th December so it'll be an early present when it gets here!

Happy Birthday for Saturday

I hope that You Love Us missing from the Astoria gig tracklist is just a mistake.

& Isn't this the first time they have released a "whole" gig officially, obvious if it is whole?

Nah, I think the gig is incomplete. I knew a decent quality version was played on the radio a while back from the second Astoria gig. No idea how they decided on that tracklist, can't have taken some songs out for radio play because Yes has 'cunt' four words into it!

Surely they recorded the whole gig though? Otherwise they would be better off releasing a copy of the bootleg.

I swear I read that it was the 21st, damn, guess I got over excited.

I'm only guessing based on a) the setlist and b) the fact that a few months ago, some radio show had a decent recording of the 20th (minus a few songs) which was quickly synced up with the video bootleg on someone's YouTube channel. I'm pretty certain the last gig was recorded because clips appear in the US Faster video, but until that surfaces we only have a really bad audio recording.

I don't think I can justify this. I have most of the audio already - it's going to be fifty quid for a book effectively. I know the albums are remastered, but that won't make that much difference to things really. I'd like an official version of the gig, and the Mastertapes, and whatever this version of Revol is, but I think I'll have to pass. The 10th anniversary box set was good enough for me.
